While eye care providers are thoroughly familiar with the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma and retinal diseases, many are not as familiar with its myriad uses for the diagnosis of corneal and anterior segment conditions. Anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) can help to differentiate between various corneal pathologies, show the anatomy of the angles, obtain information about the lens-capsule complex, and guide contact lens fitting, among many other clinical uses. Clinical Atlas of Anterior Segment OCT expertly guides clinicians through all aspects of AS-OCT with hundreds of high-quality OCT images that highlight the utility of AS-OCT in diagnosin...
Gonioscopy is an eye examination to look at the front part of the eye (anterior chamber), between the cornea and the iris. It is a painless procedure to see whether the area where fluid drains out of the eye is open or closed. Gonioscopy is important in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma, an eye disease that damages the optic nerve and may result in blindness. The new edition of this text and atlas is a step by step guide to train ophthalmologists in the principles, indications, and techniques for performing gonioscopy, whilst highlighting various goniopathologies encountered in different congenital and acquired conditions. The text begins with the history, principles and indications of goni...
